Fun little Anime show, need to add a space for gaming and for Panels. Now it is more like a Anime Swap Meet.

Aloha Festival San Mateo - Back: calamari and fish and chips.  Front: fried artichokes with shrimp and crab but they forgot the crab.

The event feels smaller this year with less food vendors and less merchants. The food lines were…read moreso long because not too many to choose from. Food was ok. One of the vendors ran out of meat by 1pm. Cute hula performance. There were nice shirts that I haven't seen with pop culture themes; a mix of newer and traditional Hawaiian wear. A few of them were funny novelties. The Menehune's plate lunches were priced well at $15 per plate and generous portions. The other food vendor had a bigger selection; the chicken skewers look great but lacked flavor. Fish and chips were ok. The calamari was calamari sticks with bland breading. The various merchandise were cute and colorful, from wall hangings to jewelry.

Aloha Festival 2023 - first time back prior to the Pandemic and how this year was such a major…read moredisappointment. For one, the vendors were set up outdoors in which it was so hard to browse as the area was very crowded with shoppers which unlike our previous visits, they were all inside one of the pavilions where for attendees there was more space to move around. Don't get me started on the food stalls and trucks which there were probably about a dozen but not nearly enough to feed the hungry hordes of people wanting to purchase their foods of choice. Signage was also poor by many of the vendors and many vendors did not communicate when they ran out of a particular item. My son waited over an hour to get poke only to find out steps away from ordering that they ran out of the poke that he wanted and instead settled for the spicy poke. Shout out to the Menehunes Motorcycle Club as their Loco Moco was really bussin as Gen Z would say. Upon leaving, I asked one of the senior Exhibition staff as to why the vendors were not inside as in the past as I thought they might have been remodeling but that was not the case. I'll have second thoughts for next years festival as this is probably my 6th one that I have attended.

I was able to park about 3 blocks away, and since it was Sunday, didn't have to worry about staying too long. There's something for everyone here: 3 simultaneous music stages, beer, wine, margaritas, a mysteriously blue dry ice drink, barbeque chicken, links, fried donuts, all kinds of cuisine really, a Farmer's market, even a children's section with half a dozen different rides. Not to mention, a myriad of art booths up and down Burlingame Ave selling everything from new age jewelry and gemstones, to balsamic vinegars and mustards, to oil paintings and hand-glazed tiles to hammocks, wood-carved name tags and teak furniture, to crafted hand lotions and wine fudge. Even a Dunk-a-Cop! Although, I don't think anyone really hates the cops around here... only kids were throwing the balls, and there seemed to be a general mood of sympathy whenever a cop got dunked. The salsa band was hot, and the swing band really got everyone swinging! The latter was fronted by a cute blonde on guitar and one kool kat on keys... I'll have to look them up - their set was pretty tight. Also, for the dog lovers out there, I've also never seen a wider assortment of cute little toy dogs. Just be sure to bring enough cash, you'll be hard-pressed to find any food cheaper than $5, and most entrees are around $10.

Fantastic lively annual summer festival! I was with a food truck vending there and the team…read moreorganizing it was super professional. Loved the live music and everyone dancing.

Today was a beautiful sunny day to attend the 22nd annual Festa Italiana di San Mateo (aka. Festa…read moreItaliana Community Street Fair). It deserves 5 stars because of how well this community event is organized. Plenty of space to stroll around, several dining areas, tons of crafts vendors (more than 100), 3 live music stages, martial arts demos, multiple food stands in every section (never have to wait long for food), beer & wine drink stations everywhere (with REAL glassware, cool!), trash bins every 20 feet, 2 playgrounds for kids, and LOTS of free parking (because it's on a Sunday, although u need to come early to find a spot). The festival includes a parade and Bocce tournament. There's also a car show: 3 sections filled with old cars, renovations/replicas, and pimped up cars on display. Don't expect to find any culinary must-have foods, but if u dislike festival foods (lemonade, kettle popcorn, fried foods, pizza, hot dogs, pastas, beer/wine, and ice cream) u can go into any of the dozens of nearby restaurants instead. New visitors might not know about "Spaguetti Alley", a popular spot for spaguetti with meatballs ($6). They have umbrella covered tables and live performances of Dean Martin songs (I think, not sure.). My favorite festival foods are the fried asparagus ($5), pork kebabs ($7), and grilled sausages ($5). Although I often prefer to have a cheap lunch at a Japanese restaurant instead, like Himawari or Oidon. Good fun for the family! I'll upload my pics later.

The vendors here seem to be more established and there is a good variety of products on offer. Even during COVID, some of the vendors I'd seen before showed up at the fair. The lines to get in used to be so long that it could take 45 minutes just to get into the parking lot. However something changed in 2023 as many of the usual vendors I had seen many times prior did not show up. Even one of the vendors and some of the other patrons mentioned that the fair seemed to be much smaller and less well attended than before. In addition some vendors have raised their prices quite a bit, which they have every right to to do, but for the higher price the quality should match. This is the only fair I've been to that charges an entrance fee. The venue also charges a parking fee. The fair entrance fee can be discounted if you have a $2 coupon, which helps. However, this holiday season thus far I've been to 3 other fairs that don't charge any fees and have 2 to 4 times the number of vendors (and patrons). Some of the vendors that I used to see at the Harvest Fair were at the other fairs. Will I return? I'm not sure.

It was deceptively large, and yet only contained - at most - couple handfuls of true 'art' tents. The rest of the blocks were made up of extremely aggressive sales people for vegetables, cruises, newspapers, and other misc junk. Warm, badly mixed Jamba was being upsold at the large size price for medium sizes drinks, and while they had incredibly helpful people at the information booth, the music on the fifth ave stage was really really bad. The teenager on the base was quite a good player, until she opened her mouth and you caught on she was tone deaf. I sat a block away and finally had to put on headphones. The second stage near first ave was much better, with a vocalist who worked the crowd - it really was a pleasure to listen and she was the saving grace of this event for me. All in all, there really isn't much reason to come to this unless you live nearby - the vendor selection was the worst I've ever seen, so if you stay home, you probably won't be missing much.

As I got near, I saw about 5 food trucks along the street and long lines in front of each truck! First thing to do was check in at the Info Booth! I waited for a short while since first the lady said I should wait for the lady beside her to help me. After waiting for 2 people, the same lady I first approached ended up changing her mind and felt like helping me...sheesh. Highlighting my name & my +1 brother, I was then given my 2 red bracelets. It signified my VIP access to the Yelp VIP area. I was told that there are blankets strewn in front of the movie screen area and that's where I would be able to sit. On a side note, there was no Yelp schwag at this Yelp Community Event. It was more of a casual night to just watch movies with other family and friends. Next, my brother and I walked around the Night Design Market area. The first tent on the left was where we picked up our free water. They ran out of other beverages. I just quickly browsed to see what vendors were selling: items or food. I did see cotton candy! After that we walked around the check out the menus of all the food trucks. I ended up deciding the LittleGreenCyclo food truck which sold a small selection of Vietnamese food. While my brother & I were waiting at the very end of the line, I told him I'll go find the blanket area. I asked the friendly staff if this was the VIP area. Successfully locating it, I choose an available blanket about the 8th in front of the movie screen. I dropped off my bag and coat there. Oh my, there were so many fruit flies or small flying bugs on the blanket! I met a nice couple with cute long-haired chihuahuas behind my blanket spot. *Side Note* Before the day of this movie night, I received contact from some Yelpers saying they would be excited to meet me. It was definitely exciting to meet more Yelper friends. Surprised they even noticed me! Glad I found a blanket before it got more filled up, I walked back to join my brother in the long wait in line! I was glad I had internet data still working in that park. I noticed a Yelper Stan checked in. I was scanning around and thought I spotted him just standing in the left side food truck line. I kept staring, LOL, and knew he didn't see me. So, after I received his comment notifying me he was located at which food truck line and wearing what, I approached Stan, introduced myself, and as I was showing him his profile picture asked him if that was him. It was a fun, brief, first encounter. Yay! I found 1 Yelper for the night. I commented on my thread for Linda to find me! Still waiting in line, I became restless and wanted to check up on my belongings. I walked and went back to the food truck line. Later, nearing the middle of the line, it started to rain lightly! So, I wanted to go get my jacket. At that time Linda commented she was waiting at the blanket. We were commenting live time in my check in, so I immediately went back to my blanket to get my jacket and see if I could spot Linda! I was looking around to see if anybody was wearing a moto jacket and even asked the lady behind my blanket to see if she saw any girl matching the outfit description Linda told me. LOL. Next thing you know, I saw a girl walking in front of me, tapping on her phone. Realized later she commented walking over to the food truck. haha. Anyways, I quickly said Linda, Are you Linda?? :-D LOL. And YAY! I was right! She finally looked up from her phone and said Yes. and I told her I'm Andrea. Think we hugged and I was excited to tell her about meeting another Yelper Stan too. So, we walked to go greet Stan. Linda later told me she had another Yelper friend telling her she would be there at movies too! Back to the line, I was sooo hungry! Finally reaching LittleGreenCyclo, tried to order fresh pineapple lychee lemonade and lemongrass grilled pork, but they ran out! I ended up choosing Lemongrass Chicken with Noodles (Mary's Free Range Air Chilled Nine Spice Grilled Chicken with Fresh Rice Vermicelli). Delicious. My brother got the Sweet Potato Tater Tots. All were yummy! After that, we walked to our blanket. I saw Stan still waiting in line for food sadly! It was getting dark by then...My brother and I shared our food. I told Stan since he wasn't VIP, we can share our blanket with him later during movie time. My brother and I finished our food and went to throw away our garbage. He went to go buy bacon caramel popcorn and Sugar Spun cotton candy too. Shortly after, Ferris Bueller's Day Off movie started. By that time, it was completely dark, after receiving a late message, I spotted Stan sitting on the grass and invited him to join our blanket. He was nice to share his Rib Whip ribs with my brother and I, also his antibacterial. Wow, delicious rib! I was still hungry during the funny, classic movie. Luckily, I brought my chocolate chip cookies! Happy that movie night!
